Precise PVC Roofing in Lakeville, MN
PVC is the membrane we specify most often for the food and light manufacturing buildings in Lakeville, where one roof can take restaurant exhaust at one end and coolant mist from a shop bay at the other. Grease and oils soften an asphalt based roof from the surface down. PVC ignores both, which is the entire reason it goes on those buildings.

Grease and coolant decide the membrane here
On a Lakeville tear off we start on the roof, not in the office. We walk the kitchen exhaust fans and the shop stacks and look at what has been landing downwind of them for years. Where the old roof is soft, spongy or shiny black with oil, that area tells us how far the fallout travels and where the new membrane needs armor at the flashings. Price follows the number of curbs, stacks and drains far more than it follows square footage, because every penetration on a food service roof is a hand welded detail. Careless work fails at the seam beside the fan, not out in the open field of the roof. A building with a low slope deck and no grease load is often better served by EPDM roofing, and we will say so on the walk instead of selling a membrane the building does not need.
PVC Roofing in Lakeville
What PVC does for a Lakeville building
Grease and coolant do not eat it
Restaurant hood fallout and machine shop coolant mist break down asphalt roofing over time. PVC is formulated for that exposure, so the area downwind of a fan lasts about as long as the rest of the roof.
Seams welded, not glued
Every lap is hot air welded into one continuous sheet. On a roof with oil on it, glued seams are the first thing to let go, and a welded lap is not really a seam anymore.
Every curb and stack detailed by hand
Kitchen and process roofs are crowded with exhaust curbs, vents and drains. We flash each one individually rather than running the field sheet up to it and hoping the sealant holds through winter.
Work phased around your production
We open only what we can dry in the same day and stage the tear off away from loading doors, so a plant or kitchen in the Airlake area keeps operating while the roof changes over it.
Snow off the high roof handled
Where a steep section drops onto a lower flat roof, sliding snow piles at the intersection and refreezes. We reinforce that landing area and carry the wall flashing high enough to stay above the drift.
Adding equipment later is simple
Plants move and add rooftop equipment. A new penetration in PVC gets welded in and becomes part of the sheet, so the roof does not collect a patchwork of taped repairs the way an older assembly does.
How we run a Lakeville reroof
We walk it with your manager
Before we quote, we go up with whoever runs the building and mark the exhaust zones, the roof access and the equipment nobody wants shut off. The scope comes from that walk.
The quote is written, not guessed
You get a free, no obligation estimate that lists the deck, insulation, penetrations and edge work we actually found. If a number changes later, it is because you asked for more.
Someone answers at three in the morning
We are open 24 hours, seven days. A leak over a production line does not wait for Monday, and a temporary patch on a PVC roof takes minutes once somebody is on the roof.
We will tell you to repair
If the membrane is sound and only the flashings are shot, we say so. Replacing a roof that has several good seasons left in it is not work we want to sell you.
Family run, out of Eden Prairie
We are a family run, faith based company working out of Eden Prairie. The people who walk your roof at the estimate are the same ones you deal with through the job.

Lakeville PVC roofing questions
What people in Lakeville ask us about this work. If yours is not covered, call and ask.
Will PVC actually stand up to our kitchen exhaust in Lakeville?
Yes, that exposure is what it was made for. Animal fat and vegetable oil landing downwind of a hood will soften asphalt based roofing and slowly turn it to mush. PVC is chemically resistant to both. The part that still needs real care is the flashing at the fan curb, which we detail by hand.
Can you reroof our Airlake Industrial Park building in Lakeville while we keep running?
Usually, yes. We section the roof, tear off only what we can weld watertight before the end of the day, and keep the work away from doors and air intakes. Odor is minimal because PVC is heat welded rather than mopped in hot asphalt. The loudest work can be scheduled off shift.
Is PVC or TPO the better choice for a building with grease exposure?
PVC, in most cases. TPO is a capable membrane and we install it, but it does not hold up to grease and animal fats the way PVC does over the long run. If there is no kitchen or process exhaust on your roof, TPO or EPDM may be the better fit, and we will say so on site rather than after.
